This is one of my favorite green smoothies. If it weren’t for the “Shrek” green color, you would never know it contains spinach! It is full of fiber, vitamin C, minerals and antioxidants. If you are going to try a green smoothie for the first time. I would recommend this one. Enjoy!

I came back from pilates class this morning and decided to make myself a vitamin C smoothie. I call this one a smoothie because it is blended in my Vitamix, however, these same ingredients could be juiced in your juicer. Juicing would give this drink an entirely different consistency. The smoothie is thicker and creamier than the juice. Next time I will make one with my Breville juicer to show you the difference. This smoothie is packed with vitamin C from the oranges and the apples. You also get some vitamin A from the carrots and anti-inflammatory agents from the ginger, not to mention the fact that it is loaded with fiber. Just what I need after my Pilates instructor went crazy on the ab work today!

Have you heard of the term “superfoods”? According to Webmd, blueberries are a superfood that can not only lower your risk of cancer and heart disease, but also acts as an anti-inflammatory. This is a perfect drink to add to your smoothie repertoire. It is full of antioxidants and vitamin C.
